Hair Setting Victory...

I adore victory rolls and fun 1940's style hair...

After a few video tutorials
 Here and Here...
I set to work...

Speaking of "set" there is enough hairspray in this style
 to keep it like this all week...

Hoping you all have a vintage weekend...

Sukie..The Sistehood of Seasons...Spring...

Introducing

my new pattern

Sukie...

The Sisterhood of Seasons...

Sukie will be one of four patterns
that I will hopefully make and design over the coming months...

This pattern is now listed in my Etsy shop...

If you find it unlisted please be patient
as I will be listing more on a regular basis...

Thank you again for all of your wonderful comments
and words of incouragement...

I have enjoyed so much designing and making this pattern...
and I hope you like it too...

What's in a Name...

Well

everything...

I usually come up with something

while in the process of making a pattern...

Something that gives me a little hint

a little inkerling

to what it should...or likes...

to be called...

But nada...nothing...zilch...zip...zero...

Any ideas?



 Maybe something
springs to mind for you...

Please let me know...

It would be just nifty...

Hello...there...

My new friend...

Oh it's about time isn't it

for a new pattern...

and I am so excited to write this one out...

She has a very cute hoodie

that you can 

pull down too...

A pair of very sweet stripy legs...

and very....well....cute!

This one is just the prototype
but a second one is coming along nicely
with a few better creative changes that I am making...

I have lots of scribbles on notepads to decipher
and hopefully
I will start testing it out on a few
unsuspecting keen crocheters...

Till then
HAPPY CROCHETING...

Not So Plain...

Sometimes it's the plain things

that 

make us feel

warm

and fuzzy

inside

Sometimes it's the plain things
that make us feel
loved...

Thank you all for your sweet comments...
on my last post...

Benjamin seemed mighty impressed...
and gave a quick "hop, skip and a jump" for joy...

Benjamin...helping...

After finishing my little 

picot edge...

I though a few pictures would be nice...

So with a cup of tea at the ready...

A few biscuits...

All was just right...

Then Benjamin thought he would like to help...

Hmmm he is thinking it didn't look quite right...

something was missing???

Now he's worked it out...

It was HIM...

Granny Goodness with Bertie and Gertie...

Finally finished the 8 x 6 rows...

very late last night...

Woke to a "picture perfect" day...

So I dragged out the ladder

and "Bertie and Gertie" the ceramic chickens...

and got snapping...

Granny Square Blanket so far...

So far so good...

8 squares by 5 squares...

Need to get on with another row as it is getting to the stage were it looks like "something"...

I can't believe that it has taken this long...

But changing colours every row will do that...

We have been having a very wet start to Autumn here
and the leaves are starting to change already...



That's climate change for you!!!

Are your seasons all "mixed up" too?

A friend mentioned to me today that their friend just flew into Sydney
a few days ago
and the first comment they made was..."it smells like mould"...

Now don't get me wrong Sydney is normally a beautiful city full of
amazing sites, parks, museums and people...

But the weather has played havoc in the last few months...
I do hope it improves very soon...

Not just there but right across our amazing planet...
